Silvery leaves from 1 to-2 1/2 foot typical oregano (O. vulgare) taste Italian and Spanish cuisine. All oregano types are susceptible to root-rot and leafminer assaults, and — in badly drained soil — to aphid, spider mite. Propagate oreganos from stem cuttings as opposed to seeds to ensure faithful reproduction of the traits.
Mix a free, well-draining rooting medium of equivalent elements perlite that is sterile and peat moss. Fill a 4 inch pot together with the medium for every cutting and moisten the medium using a good spray of water.
Soak the knife in an answer of nine parts water. Rinse and dry it. Cut 3- to 5 inch lengths of leafy comes from a wholesome oregano plant, using them just just beneath leaf nodes.

Four 8 inch florist’s sticks across the lips of the pots at intervals. Place the pots in plastics that are apparent bag that achieve on the sticks. Shut the bags with twist-ties. The bags preserve humidity while permitting light to achieve the cuttings from collapsing onto the cuttings, the bags are kept by the sticks.

Tug the cuttings after three months. Tamp the ones that pull free again in spot before re-testing the roots, and wait two months. Leave the bags untied each day, and slide them. Re-pot them in combine till they are big enough for out Door transplanting when the cuttings present growth in the humidity.
